A wills and probate specialist from Berrymans Solicitors in Leamington is set to run the first in a series of free advice clinics at a Salfordcare home.

The surgery, on Thursday, July 28 from 2pm until 4pm, will be hosted by solicitor Jaz Virk at Priors House, a purpose-built care home in Blackdown, just outside Leamington. The aim is to offer advice to older members of the community, along with care home residents and their families, in a safe and friendly environment.

Mawson Chipchase, from Care UK, which runs Priors House, said: “The idea is to offer support to our residents, and the wider community, because it can be daunting when first dipping your toe into the water when it comes to later-life legal advice.

“With Jaz we wanted to offer an informal drop-in type surgery where people can know there is no pressure or reason to worry.”

The surgery is the first of six planned drop-in events at the care home in Old Milverton Lane and will cover areas such as wills and codicils, along with advice on preparing Powers of Attorney and applying for Deputyship in instances where family members have lost capacity.

Mrs Virk, who specialises in the administration of estates and joined Berrymans Solicitors earlier this year, said: “I’m looking forward to visiting Priors House as part of this initiative to inform and advise people in later life on what legal options are available to them.”
